Plan Description

Get race-day ready for the Half Distance Triathlon in La Quinta with a 36-week advanced training plan built to match every element of this iconic course. From the chilly waters of Lake Cahuilla to the fast flats of the Thermal Raceway and the scenic, spectator-packed loops at Silver Rock Golf Resort, this plan is engineered to help you perform your best.

✅ Build Cold-Water Confidence
With dedicated swim technique and endurance sessions, you'll be fully prepared for the 1.9km open water swim in Lake Cahuilla. Early-phase workouts focus on breath control, efficient form, and wetsuit-specific drills to help you handle the average 57°F (14°C) water with ease.

✅ Dominate the Fast, Flat Bike Course
The 56-mile loop through La Quinta and the Thermal Raceway calls for sustained power and smart pacing. You'll develop just that with aerobic base building, power interval sessions, and climbing accelerations, ensuring you're race-ready for the course’s straightaways and potential desert winds.

✅ Crush the Run at Silver Rock Golf Resort
The 13.1-mile, two-loop run is flat and fast, ideal for a strong finish. Our plan emphasizes anaerobic threshold, VO₂ max, and ATP-PC sprint training, giving you the speed and stamina to thrive in front of cheering spectators—and cross the line strong.

✅ Train With Precision
Structured on a 3:1 build-to-recovery cycle, the plan starts at 9.5 hours per week and peaks at 14.5. Each week includes functional strength, sport-specific drills, and recovery sessions that help you absorb the work without burning out.

🔥 What You’ll Gain:
✔️ Race-specific endurance and mental resilience
✔️ Efficient pacing for long flats and run loops
✔️ A strategy-backed plan that prevents overtraining
✔️ Confidence in cold-water swim starts
✔️ Personal email support from a coach who understands your journey

🎯 This plan isn’t just a schedule—it’s your roadmap to crushing the Half Distance Triathlon in La Quinta. Let’s get to work and make race day your best performance yet. 💥
